O'Connor, Sinead - Take Me To Church Lyrics






I don't wanna love the way I loved before
I don't wanna love that way no more
What have I been writing love songs for?
I don't want to write them anymore
I don't wanna sing from where I sang before
I don't wanna sing that way no more
What've I've been singing love songs for?
I don't wanna sing them anymore,
I don't wanna be that girl no more
I don't wanna cry no more
I don't wanna die no more
So cut me down from this here tree
Cut the rope from off of me
Sit me on the floor,
I'm the only one I should adore

Oh, Take me to church,
I've done so many bad things it hurts
yeah, Take me to church
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth

I'm gonna sing songs of loving and forgiving
Songs of eating and of drinking,
songs of living, songs of calling in the night
'cause songs are like a bolt of light
And love's the only love you should invite
Songs of long and spiteful fails
songs that don't let you sit still
Songs that mend your broken bones
and that don't leave you alone
So get me down from this here tree,
take the rope from off of me
sit me on the floor,
I'm the only one I should adore!

Oh, Take me to church,
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah take me to church,
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth
Yeah, take me to church
oh, take me to church
I've done so many bad things it hurts
Yeah, get me to church,
but not the ones that hurt
'Cause that ain't the truth
And that's not what it's worth

  1. I.... ....

    YES SINEAD!!! <3

  2. R.... G....

    La bajista que acompaña a Sinead, es la misma que tocó junto a ella en el Estadio Nacional de Chile el año 90.
    El que pueda traducir que lo haga.

  3. A.... M....

    The woman singing "Take me Church", actually became a Muslim.

  4. J.... P....

    Just not the church where the Pope is....... kidding.... I love her, always have, always will❤️

  5. L.... C....

    Great song very passionate way to express your feelings

  6. D.... M....

    beautiful magistral magnifique véritable superbe voix une très très très grande chanteusre perfect perfection artistique vocale et très belle chanteuse eternelle.

  7. T.... F....

    Già la sapete cuela canzone che fa cantando cuanti amori e cuanti amori ecc e già lo sapete che non è a dirlo ma mantenerlo l'amore con il cuore e per sempre ecc ecc

  8. B.... I....

    Lov it great tune

  9. P.... N....

    Still playing this powerful song in 2019. Brilliant!

  10. T.... A....

    Very article, lady
    Life story in her songs
    Sometimes sad,
    Everything has a purpose in life...

  11. G.... G....

    She's perfect, the song is perfect and her teeth are perfect !

  12. �.... ....

    도입부에서부터 지렸다

  13. E.... A....

    the image of your face in the opening of this video seems accurate. (there are two) SINEAD OCONNOR , all this sympathy you are getting! in your BBC interview you told an inflammatory story about Prince Nelson & you also claimed to have never taken hard drugs or drank alcohol! While claiming Prince did, and that he was violent to women, contrary to countless accounts. Yet your skin, complexion, eyes, demeanour, tell a completely different story - behind the fake tan and new teeth you are showing clear signs of drug or alcohol abuse. Smearing good people with lies will not improve your reputation, nor revive your broken career & creativity, neither will Islam when you don't practice it (honesty integrity etc) There isn't one other woman who will corroborate your accusations of violence that you waited until Prince was deceased to viciously pull out. While the second chance you were graced with flounders, I hope you will be an example to other narcissists of how karma operates.

  14. T.... D....

    *LOVE* is the only love you should invite..! *I AM* the only *ONE* I should adore..! Selah... xxx

  15. P.... G....

    Me leve pra igreja. Sinead puro rock

  16. �.... �....

    *Wig Snatched* 💯💣💥👏🏼

  17. P.... R....

    Oh that's a surprise as I was expecting a Hozier cover... a nice surprise.

  18. V.... S....

    Sinead Occonor was RIGHT all along..
    She was portrayed crazy by the media,was boood on stage and lost her career and all..when she tore the popes pic on snl
    Turns out she has the balls to expose the vatican...
    Shes a legend

  19. A.... C....

    Wow..."take me to church, but not the one that hurts" how many of us can related to this single phrase.

  20. S.... O....

    666 dislikes and the song is about church?...

    S.... O....

    A bit ironic (666) and it has remained so...let's see if someone else dare to break the cabalistic number :)

  21. F.... S....

    miss you

  22. j.... m....

    out of this world brilliant

  23. E.... A....

    I literally amazed by this song, Sinead is always the best, the bravest, the most talented, most honest!! 💪👏❤

  24. H.... L....

    Still loving this song, still loving O'Conner!

  25. N.... C....

    Deep song!!! We love you Sinead, oh what a true beautiful soul you are!! ❤️

  26. n.... ....

    Its yrs since one wrote somebody wrote here. I feel compelled to keep her legacy alive. Thats why i hv to revisit time n again to keep trying her vibe alive. Tell ppl that how gr8 she is.

  27. a.... m....

    *Bella tu música me encanta un enorme saludo desde mi país Costa Rica* esa energía e interpretación magnífica.

  28. e.... s....

    Now this song would be called "Take Me To Mosque" 😂😂😂

  29. H.... S....

    Christian churches and synagogues hurt...She chose Islam

  30. P.... L....

    How to clean travertine

  31. E.... R....

    ❤️🖤❤️🖤✝️💟☮️👍😎🇮🇸❤️.

  32. K.... K....

    Amazing thank you Sinead o Conner!

  33. T.... ....

    the most beautiful woman on earth

  34. K.... H....

    Holy fiiday I love this tune.

    K.... H....

    she means it .

  35. D.... M....

    Beautiful. My g-d....simply beautiful.

  36. L.... ....

    Sinead ❤️

  37. A.... K....

    the irish are such humble and deep people :)

    A.... K....

    Monster X I'm from the same area ad her😁

    A.... K....

    @jason mahon And?

  38. G.... M....

    “Take me to church but not the ones that hurt”....and then she converts to Islam 😐. Enough said.

    G.... M....

    Given what has happened in Ireland where the Christian church is concerned I can't blame her. The Magdalene houses were horrific and no one who claims to be a Christian can justify them.

    G.... M....

    @Dermacrosis Uhhh, yeah, but then why turn to Islam. They hurt aswell.

  39. F.... W....

    Sinead O'Connor MacLeod ist der Sieger

  40. C.... W....

    What a women love and miss you.
    [email protected]
    Get in touch.

  41. T.... M....

    songs to mend your broken bones. 
    girl, you've been doing that since always. 
    thank you.
    This is truly great. I actually cried

  42. E.... H....

    Queen of where's my wig ?

  43. S.... ....

    She’s such a genius. Wow. What a powerful song. She’s my heroine.

  44. s.... ....

    why this song ends so suddenly... It hurts.

  45. M.... H....

    Snead was right with hair shes stunning and so smoking hot

    M.... H....

    She is one of two women I think look beautiful with a shaved head, the other is Skin from Skunk Anansie. To me she looks wrong with hair to the point I cheered when she flung off the wig.

  46. J.... L....

    I got my most recent tattoo last week. It's a lyric from this song and I think we should all live by it. "I'm the only one I should adore" ❤️

  47. D.... G....

    How is it that this isn't that long ago and just a little makeup can make her look so young and beautiful in a way that it's almost like Diane Kruger beautiful which is so beyond your typical Beauty and even naturally she's beautiful but wow I mean she just doesn't look like she's aged at all from the 90s but very little

  48. E.... S....

    2019☺

  49. D.... O....

    Florence + The Cranberries

    D.... O....

    She predates both.

  50. I.... M....

    I love this song take me to church but not the ones that hurt cause I think most wars start over religion that's just my opinion and I think we should just all get along and forget about what religion we are and who and where we are from

  51. w.... ....

    Love you Sinead!!! "I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it."

  52. M.... M....

    2019 and breaking down in tears. It's a pleasure!

  53. d.... 7....

    Awesome angry girl anthem. Love it, love her xx

  54. J.... N....

    2019 ❤

  55. D.... O....

    I'm the only one I should adore.

  56. J.... E....

    Miss your spirit.

  57. �.... �....

    ❤❤👍👍

  58. j.... m....

    my new Anthem!!!!!!!

  59. S.... M....

    Funny coincidence, I first heard this song around the same time I heard Hozier's

    S.... M....

    It was released the same year if I'm correct

  60. J.... D....

    I love the woman and the song. Stay strong sister.

  61. b.... f....

    Awesome song.Sinead. Total Props.

  62. B.... L....

    Like this one though

  63. s.... f....

    A living Irish legend. Unfortunately it won't be till she is gone that many stop getting a laugh from here and realise what it was that we lost. Respect Sinead

  64. N.... M....

    To those who are wondering about the LENGTH of the song and why it seems “cut short”... this particular album was written inspired by classic Chicago style rock. Sinead felt it was significant to maintain the classic 3-minute radio gap length of the songs throughout the album, as that was classic with rock, especially Chicago -bluesy- rock n roll. She mentions this on several interviews. Just a fun fact :)

  65. R.... E....

    You got great legs girl X

  66. .... ....

    She looks like Mila Jovovich with that red hair.

  67. L.... C....

    She got more beautiful as she got older. There is something that standing in your truth does to you.

  68. j.... m....

    those legs wow

  69. J.... M....

    Still listening in 2019

    J.... M....

    This is the most desperate and idiotic comment on all of youtube. Internet likes aren't going to make your life better.

    J.... M....

    Her voice is something special

    J.... M....

    John Smith calm down John !

  70. M.... ....

    Listening to this song =going to church ❤️

  71. a.... a....

    take me to the mosque now.....
    oh yeah.....now u can't dress like that or sing on camera.....or celebrate xmas.....
    u r a total embarrasment to Ireland lady.
    lock u up and throw away the key.

  72. N.... ....

    I guess now she said take me to assylum and fuck wypipo

  73. G.... G....

    I feel the same tday as always Sinead put it words I love you Girl

  74. �.... �....

    Please, who has guitar chords for this amazing song??

  75. a.... w....

    That is the truth&verity.

  76. �.... �....

    1:50 ICONIC

  77. m.... m....

    "Songs of long and spiteful fails
    Songs that don't let you sit still
    Songs that mend your broken bones
    And that don't leave you alone"

    -- She succeeded! :-D

  78. K.... H....

    from madness to redemption

  79. T.... Q....

    Maravillosa

  80. D.... M....

    D.... M....

    Why Lol? It wasn't that funny, let alone original.

    D.... M....

    @Dermacrosis I didn't know it was unoriginal until I saw other comments like that, that were posted before this

  89. R.... J....

    Thank you, Sinead, for decades of music and your uncanny ability to show us the light

  90. A.... M....

    But now After 4 years she converted to islam
